I've literally just done this job on my 1.9 JTD M-Jet ( 2004 ). Not sure if it is different on your car...but I'm sure the principal is the same. It was a very straight foreword job...this thread and PDF guide was very helpful.

As you are looking at the engine, the EGR valve is situated to the right of the inlet manifold near the throttle body. It is bolted to the manifold with 4 10mm long bolts and the gas pipe is fitted to the valve with 2 6mm alen key bolts. The electrical connector is grey and has a sliding yellow tab on it. Slide the tab back and then the connector should come off. CAREFUL NOT TO DROP THE GASKETS DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE. Spray some brake and clutch cleaner into the valve and leave it to soak. I advise not to use any form of grease or oil as the carbon deposits will stick to it and block the valve. Any way have fun......

I did this last year on my 20V and can confirm its the same procedure as on the 1.9's. I found I also had a lot of additional cleaning around the inlet manifold where it bolts onto. There are some vanes to direct the exhaust gases and mine were very gunked up. It did mean I had a bit of extra dismantling as I had to remove the vacuum operated inlet flap to get access with the cleaning stuff.

Hi All,
Really debating at the moment whether or not to buy the Eibach roll bar kit for my 156, although I am not sure if the Eibach kits really live up to the price - £311.99 delivered with VAT direct from Eibach.
I need a new front bar for my 2.5 V6 either way and am interested in upgrading...

Can anyone tell me how much the ride height differs on a Veloce compared to a Turismo or Lusso. i.e the measurement from centre of wheel to bottom of wheel arch.
The reason being I have just bought an 03 SW Turismo that appears to have been built to Veloce spec. Western Alfa in Edinburgh told me...
